KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Fuuuucckkk! I hope this isn't true. He is yet another overrated Brazillian. I bet he'll just be another Kalou. If we payed more than 20 million for him it is a massive fail on our Behalf! We need to go for World Class players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike 12,049 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 hypothetical question; could we still lure willian without championsleague next season?Chelsea and hundreds of other clubs while not being in a Euopean competion have signed great players. Not having Champions League makes it harder to sign players, but it isn't the main attraction, if it was Aston Villa would have nabbed some great players when ther qualified for Europe a few years back.

Severinb 309 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Wow what a game from him today played as a winger!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRY0d9y5JxI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGuerreiro 252 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 0:53 absolute class! Wonderful. His other assist vas very good also. I do wonder why he doesn't celebrate though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Beautiful pass for goal, but Ukrainian league is not that difficult. Lukaku shined at anderlecht, now he struggles here. This guy isnt bad, but he is quite expensive. In better leagues you can find 20mio wingers. Andre Ayew for example. He scored 16 goals so far, more than Hazard.

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I think Willian was just a January 'take it or leave it' offer. I don't imagine us going back for him, particularly because André isn't here now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin123 534 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 just watched few vids, turn of pace and ability to beat a player seems very good, we do need this! but other aspects of his position cant be seen in youtube vids! anyone who watches him or watched know if he is any good?????!!!?

Thata being said willain at leftwing with hulk at would be amazing. I can see the two brazilians playing off each other very well(massive plus that they speak the same language).

Superblue 6,372 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 The rumours won't go away. I have a strong feeling Willian will be here next season. The club will know which players are interested in joining and which aren't. It may well be that we're not pursuing Hazard or Gotze because the club have already been informed by their agents that they're not interested in the moves.I would prefer the likes of Hazard and Hulk as I've said before but I wouldn't be against Willian. We are in desperate need of pace in our side and a couple of players who are capable of beating a man or two to create space. Willian is capable of this.

Sheva. 5,373 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I'd take him, we need more than 1 winger because Malouda and Kalou 'should' leave at the end of the season.So we could get him, get De bruyne back from Genk, and also get one big name winger.

Madmax 9,219 Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 17.3m £ offer rejected in Jan and he has more than 2 years on his contract, meaning any potential move could take upwards of 20m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheva. 5,373 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Not worth anywhere near 20m.Perhaps, but it's almost impossible to get decent players for cheap nowadays, except if their contract is running out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to stop overpaying for Average players. Willian is worth 12-13 million. That's his Fair Value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at the end of the day how many players actually go for their fair value? There's always a few more millions added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
